Varilek’s Platform = Kristi missed a meeting! Oh, boy…thats inspiring…
The fact that Matt won an award for “Gas Emissions” seems very appropriate!
I do give Matt Mad Props for the Corn Dogs and Beer party however! Double Props for the ‘repeat corndoggings’.

I’ve got to say this video gives me a much better opinion of Varilek than it does Noem. He was bettering himself through education while Noem was collecting silly accolades from organizations nobody cares about.

What is it about the SD GOP that makes them so afraid of educated leaders? They tried the same thing with Herseth-Sandlin when they complained about her law degree. In my opinion this message is off base. We should respect and admire those with advanced degrees… not treat them as a threat.

The SDGOP reacts to intellectual achievement in the same calm, cool, and rational manner that the villagers do any number of old horror pictures on TCM this month. Their symbol should be an elephant with a pitchfork and a torch…

Hard to believe people want to go outside of South Dakota for an education, study at well respected universities and then come back to South Dakota to use that new knowledge to make the state a better place. Instead of education everyone’s goal should be working to be soybean queen or king.
